Disaster

The cult, the-
rape were also in play,
when Icarus flew out of Crete.

   Carrying the sky
on your shoulders when
   you were burning.

   After visitation 
I will write a poem 
   on the triumph of failure.

   The dialect of body 
will tear down the bed 
   unlearning the love.

   Whom would-
you believe in distress
   unforgiving the sword.
